Travelers in the Night Eps. 725 & 726: Mtn Ops & Close Space Rocks
Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org
Today's 2 topics:
- My team, the Catalina Sky Survey, would not find a single asteroid without Steward Observatory's Mount Lemmon Operations, or Mtn Ops for short. Bottom line is that Mtn Ops does whatever it takes to make our Asteroid Hunting facilities continue to function.
- Since 1900 there have been 11 close approaches by asteroids larger than 300 feet in diameter. One of them, the Tunguska Object was about 400 feet in diameter. It entered the Earth's atmosphere and exploded with such force that it blew down trees over an 800 square mile area in 1908. Hopefully that will not happen again anytime soon.

The Cosmic Savannah - Ep 56: Our Supermassive Black Hole
Hosted by Dr. Jacinta Delhaize & Dr. Daniel Cunnama.
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration has unveiled the first image of the supermassive black hole at the centre of our own Milky Way galaxy! This is the first direct evidence of the black hole in our galaxy. The image was produced by a global research team called the EHT Collaboration, using observations from a worldwide network of radio telescopes.
We are joined by Dr. Iniyan Natarajan who is a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Witwatersrand and who was part of the team of over 300 astronomers who made this possible.

Awesome Astronomy - Why Is The Moon Upside Down?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSInnKa4ODE
Paul Hill, Ralph Wilkins and Dr. Jenifer “Dr. Dust” Millard host.
Damien Phillips, John Wildridge and Dustin Ruoff produce.
But really it’s all just a big Ralph Fest today!
From Mar 25, 2022.
If you’ve never been to the southern hemisphere (or the northern hemisphere, if you live in the southern hemisphere), you might not be aware that the moon and the constellations appear upside down!
In this episode we’ll show you how that appears, why, and how that proves the Earth isn’t flat - as if any more proof were needed!

SETI Live - SETI Artist In Residence Program: Xin Liu’s Inward Expeditions
Nimbly combining the tools of art and science, SETI Institute Artist in Residence Xin Liu expresses what it means to be human through a diverse body of work that includes frost-coated sculptures, a bubbling fountain of crude oil, and a performance in outer space.
In a new body of sculptures exhibited at Pioneer Works in New York City, the artist considers her fears around having her eggs frozen, creating warped, skeletal, frost-covered sculptures that propose a human body transformed through a cryogenic process. Through art, Liu centers the human experience in the face of technologies and developments motivated by efficiency, productivity, and optimization.
Art21 is the world’s leading source to learn directly from the artists of our time. A nonprofit organization, the mission of Art21 is to educate and expand access to contemporary art, producing documentary films, resources, and public programs. Learn more at http://Art21.org
Join SETI Artist in Residence Program Director Bettina Forget as she chats with Emma Nordin from Art21, premieres Xin Liu's video, and then speaks with her about this latest show and its scientific concepts.

Exoplanet Radio - Ep 16: How Long To Travel to The Closest Exoplanet Proxima Centauri b?
Many people feel that it’s very important for humanity’s long term survival that we become a multiplanet species. Traveling to and possibly even inhabiting other planets in our solar system is not only possible with our current levels of technology, but compared to going to the stars, it’s downright easy.
But what about traveling to exoplanets? Can we reach the stars?
